How to create symbolic link
By Rohit Gupta
I updated my Elgg from 1.12.x to 2.2.x and noted that the Advance Setting has an option as "Use symbolic link to simple cache directory (recommended)".
When I tried to enable the option, it showed me: "Due to your server configuration the symbolic link can not be established automatically. Please refer to the documentation and establish the symbolic link manually."
Can anyone refer me to the said documentation or provide me with the linux command for the same, so that I can create the symbolic link manually.

You must log in to post replies.I tried the following command, but the entire website design went for a toss.
What should be the permission of "cache"?? 777 or 755?
Make sure Apache is configured to allow symlinks or overrides
Yes, I have the following in my htaccess
Make sure apache respects that. Check httpd.conf
Try
i.e. the data directory itself as link target.
Also, permissions settings for the symbolic link are irrelevant as the permissions of the link target are used.
@iionly what file, folder or location is one expected to insert that code line??
